I don’t understand. Isn’t that a pretty basic hypothesis? There’s no way we’ve gone almost 100 years and no one tried that.

- tom-thistime 5y agoIt's too difficult to actually carry out in practice. You increase the mass, it quickly becomes impossible to distinguish the states.

Seems like there is a lot of theory discussions around the Internet but not seeing any experimental evidence one way or the other in the first few results.
- pm_me_your_quan 5y agoIt is. We haven't had the necessary experimental equipment to be able to measure it until recently. You need an extremely precise clock that you can put into a quantum superposition- that's difficult to make.
- AnimalMuppet 5y agoCreating an object that is 1) massive enough to observably bend spacetime, and 2) still can be put in a quantum superposition is... not easy.
- Enginerrrd 5y agoTrue... but you might be able to put an object in superposition with another object and separate those a bit within an existing gravity well and observe the implications.
